Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise

I'm not sure if I would consider myself a tattoo girl. It's neat to see them on other people, especially if they're unique, but I find that I wouldn't be able to commit to something like that since my mind and taste changes all the time. That doesn't mean I don't like browsing pictures of some seriously cool tattoos. The wanderlust one would have to be my favourite! If you were to get a tattoo, what would you get?

Band Crush// Young the Giant

It's a rare occasion when iTunes genius recommends to me a band that I actually like. It's an even rarer occasion when I immediately fall in love with the album, download it and listen to it over and over again! Young the Giant is a band that hails from Irvine, California that creates electronic indie rock. 

Their music is perfect to include in a summer mix for a road trip or the beach. Their open session videos are amazing, I think they're better than the studio recorded versions. The open session versions of "Islands" and "Strings" are so beautiful and haunting. They give me chills!

Every Little Thing

I have a confession to make...I am in love with the hair accessories from Urban Outfitters! I'm guessing my recent love for hair accessories stemmed from me getting my hair cut the other day. It sounds really gross, but I went without having my hair cut for about a year and a half (eeps!) I think it was because my last haircut was when I got my bob and I've been afraid of the hairdresser's chair ever since! But ever since getting my hair cut, my hair feels so healthy! I keep running my fingers through my hair like a weirdo, hahaha. Aren't some of these pieces so adorable?

The Real World

I absolutely adore Refinery29 when it comes to fashion and beauty inspiration. I was looking through the website today and found this amazing beauty trick for those of us who want to experiment with colour but don't want to commit to it.  This trick is so easy! Just grab some coloured blush or eyeshadow and dip a brush in the powder and slick it across your strands (preferably near the ends of your locks to get that ombre effect).  After you're done with the powder, add a light coat of hair spray to keep in the colour for the day. So easy right? I want to try this immediately!

Music Monday// Ellie Goulding

I've been a little obsessed with Ellie Goulding for a while. Her music is a mix between pop and electronic and her hit song "Lights" is such a good tune to listen to. I dare you to not get addicted! The music video is pretty cool as well! Enjoy her song below.

Missed Connections

I always find it so funny when I stumble on something like this.  Just recently I found Sophie Blackall, an artist on Etsy who is inspired to make art pieces from the Missed Connections section on Craigslist. Enjoy a couple of her art pieces below. Check out her Etsy for more. Aren't some of these pieces so romantic? Swoon!

The Naked and Famous

Hi everyone! I can't believe my blog has been on a hiatus for the past month-ish, I blame my super lame school schedule and the lovely weather! Luckily though, I get a few days off between semesters and I'm reveling in not having to do anything until Monday! I downloaded a few new songs to my playlist and this one really sticks out to me. It's such a good chill out song and the music video is very dreamy in a hipster-like way :)
